Investing In Address Quality

Significant resources are spent acquiring, retaining and servicing your customers, and the quality of your data plays a critical role in how well these functions are performed.

According to the USPS®, every year there are over 47 million change-of-addresses filed by individuals, families, and businesses, as well as the creation of almost 2 million new addresses. Add in the keystroke errors and omissions in new addresses collected on a daily basis, and it's easy to see how your address data deteriorates quickly over time.

Organizations with poor controls over address quality often face critical issues that affect their bottom line, both directly (increased costs) and indirectly (the impact on service and reputation).

Best practices for managing your customer data should involve an address quality program, for both existing data and at the point of entry for new data.

AccuMail frameworks provides you with all the tools you need to ensure the address quality of your database.

What Is Address Quality?

Address data may be said to exhibit Total Address Quality when it meets three conditions - it is Complete, Correct and Current.

Complete addressescontain all elements for your mail to be delivered, from street numbers to the ZIP + 4® code.

Correct addresses not only contain all the right address elements but are also actual validated deliverable addresses.

Current addresses take into account whether the addressee is still at the same address that their mailpiece is addressed to.

Certified for accuracy by the USPS, AccuMail frameworks give you the confidence that your data meets the highest address quality standards.
